I'm an insomniac myself...my brain won't shut off. I took my Ambien CR at 10:30 pm and here I am, wide awake on the computer (1:25 am Eastern time). Gotta get up for work around 6:30...and I will be tired (it's a viscious cycle). Some days are better than others though.

I know this really isn't a place to diagnose problems but do you smoke or drink alot of caffeine?

LOL...yea, actually both. But the insomnia has been an issue for me when I've quit both. I quit smoking for 10 months and coffee for the first 6 of those months and still couldn't sleep. Honestly, I should have been a vampire...I seem to wake up when the sun goes down

Do you nap at all during the day when you stay up extremely late?

Nope...I have a feeling that I'll be sleeping tonight though...fell asleep a little after 2 am and was woken up to my 1 year old crying at 4:30 (she's been sick and waking up at night). She decided to stay up and was having so much fun that I had no choice but to hang with her. My eyes are on fire now!

I've been so damn tired. The other weekend I slept for 16 hours straight. I woke up and looked at the clock and was like hmmmmm, it says two o'clock but, it's light out. Oh ****, it's two in the afternoon.

Hopefully work will ease up just a tad here soon. I don't mind being busy because it makes the day go by faster and means things are going good but, once it crosses a certain point it just wears ya out.
